feed her honey. You can put a drop or two on the banana. She just might start eating more. What is her favorite food?

Don't give up. She may be preparing to molt. Just don't throw out any crabs that don't have a strong fishy smell.

If I think they are gone, I leave'em till they stink....guess it's just holding onto that bit of hope....I remember the "miracle crab" from past months that got thrown into the garbage only to be discovered to be alive!
